thank you apple.
Apple was what Bitcoin still lacks: That "coolness" factor specially within the youth. We have to market Bitcoin better. The fundamental reasons to use it are there, but people is dumb and dumb people need marketing to start using things. It is what it is.
Apple Pay and OneTouch is the same shit wrapped up in a new box. Instead of pulling your card out of your wallet, you're now touching your phone to some device.

The chargebacks with Apple Pay and OneTouch is going to be ridiculous for merchants.
If it's as easy as one button, where do people sign? As a merchant, we deal with chargebacks all the time. Credit card companies want to see receipts with signatures, or else the customer gets their money back. Where's the incentive for merchants to add Apple Pay?

(including contracts, fees, maintenance...)edit: i run a retail shop. to let customers pay in btc i had to invest ... hm... how much is the cost of a bw printout ... 2 cents ?
Cheers!!!
I said it before, I'll say it again: Fuck Apple.
You forgot to mention Apples flawless security track record.... 
ROFL!!!

the poor aren't buying iphones. They are buying cheap androids and now the Mozilla phone. I agree with the OP. If this get mobile payments in general more accepted, it will benefit BTC more than apple in the long run.
As long as we have bitcoin credit/debit cards, we can ultimately spend bitcoin with Apple pay or Google Wallet.

apple pay is the worst news for bitcoin in months. you people are delusional.
Apple Pay isn't a competitor to Bitcoin any more than Paypal is. Just another USD payment provider.
This. They'll hardly even cover USA alone, which is what, 4% world population? Minus people who do not have iphone, we're at 1% at best, and that's their maximum theoretically possible market now.
Besides, the first hack of the encrypted card data allowing iphone virus to conveniently pay with "one touch" and the whole idea is compromised.

Yep, just another way to use credit cards. A more accessible Square. At the end of the day, this is just another "pull" method of payment. It suffers from the drawbacks that credit cards do (obviously). I don't want merchants sticking their hands in my wallet. The "push" nature of bitcoin payments are what make it revolutionary -- or rather, what makes the payment system aspect revolutionary. Apple can't compete with that.
Now if someone makes btc that convenient...
Apple sells most of it's products to people with plenty of disposable income, and they might not worry about paying extra fees. Android users are more likely to have to ask how much something costs before buying it. They are unlikely to be happy paying extra Apple fees on top of VISA/Mastercard/AE.
True dat. I'm happy to pay more for convenience. I can always get more cash, time is more precious to me. Ymmv
Me too! You are right in the money/bitcoin.
Do you really think that Samsung, Sony, HTC, Huawei, etc, are going to let the iPhone take all the mobile payments for itself.
It is simple. Android (Linux) and Bitcoin are a match made in heaven.
Even if Apple is the #1 in the industry at mobile payments, the top-end android phones wont go down without a fight and this is all growth for Bitcoin.
